You hate to see good starts get cleaned out only to start over again, I think it was 20-21 back where we were off to a good December with 16.1" here then the grinch appeared and the rest of that winter was mediocre with 29.5".
Nor should anyone else, A month away many things can change, I guess i somewhat understand the thinking if you compare that period to the past few years.
On my way back from Wales this morning, Sabattus Lake was skimmed over, These last several days of temps in the 30's and teens at night has jump started ice buildup.
I will be there by 5:45 in the morning, Just had another buck 20 mins ago on cam 2 heading to the fields where cam 1 is that had 3 deer on it in 43 mins from 6:08-6:51 am heading out at dawn this morning to go to there bedding area.
